As featured in Ocean Drive Magazine: POPPING THE CORK INSPIRED BY THE CORK OF A PROSECCO BOTTLE, THIS MIAMI-BASED BRAND IS MAKING FABULOUSLY SUSTAINABLE STAPLE ACCESSORIES. BY CAROLINE VAL

At the core of innovation is the ability to see beauty and value in the simplest of objects. And in the eyes of Rebecca Edelson, a cork is what sparked her inspiration for creating a line of stylish accessories defined by vibrant colors and unique textures. What once began as a hobby for Edelson has now become a thriving eco-friendly business offering different selections of cutches, wristlets, cosmetic bags and even tablet cases: Introducing Lovestruck Cork (lovestruckcork), brand committed to durable, fashionable and sustainable wardrobe additions handmade with cork fabric sourced from Portugal. Though Edelson runs her business out of Miami, her online shop allows anvone from anvwhere to purchase one of these handcrafted adornments. With a mission to stop fast fashion alongside dedication to raising awareness for cancer research, the brand donates 5 % of its profits to the American Cancer Society. While discovering eye-catching style statements that are shadowed by a multifaceted lineup of philanthropic and environmentally conscious initiatives, Lovestruck Cork changes the game for the better in a resourcefully stylish way.

Shark Tank

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The story behind the brand is very important and I think my mission of giving back a portion of my profits to charity is important. I also source my fabric from sustainable cork where they do not chop trees. They shave the bark which grows back every nine years. These type of trees live over 100 plus years.
